What a dominating defense by Jaguars, Rashean played like Rashean used to play back in 2007-08. Getting field goals in the red zone usually doesn't win games, but I'm glad to see Jaguars win and gain some respect on nationally televised game.Emir, Jacksonville

Great defensive performance aside from the late touchdown. Somebody, please tell Blaine Gabbert that this is full contact football. Just because you are going to get hit doesn't mean that he should forget the fundamentals of playing quarterback. Be a man, plant that back foot, and deliver the strike that we feel you can make. Use some stickum on your gloves next game, MJD. This game could have been a blowout. If you didn't watch it, you would think that this game was close. Scobee for player of the week.JaVaughn, Jacksonville

Enjoyed watching the bruising defense. JDR made some gutsy calls with the fourth-down run and 52-yard field goal. Josh Scobee won the game and should awarded the game ball. Great job against a very tough opponent and not out of the AFC South race just yet.Jeff, Blackshear, Ga.

From a national standpoint it was nice to see the whole team and city come out to play! I swear I saw a concrete block fall off JDR's shoulder.Jason, Marshville, N.C.

We outtoughed the tough guys. What if we had an offense?Buddy, Ponte Vedra Beach

Stout defense, Jags! You were not given a chance but you showed the world how tough you are. The Ravens sure found out. Loved the man-to-man coverage in the secondary, the boys came to play and play you did. Offense, I am sorry you still have a long way to go. Mary, Middleburg

Daryl Smith played lights out and Scobee nailed 'em, and the rest of the team really pulled together. Well done on the defense, Gene Smith, the offense will get there. And by the way, that was the Ravens Gabbert just beat, not the winless Dolphins.Ray, Jacksonville Beach

Does it take the national spotlight for the Jags to play well? 'Cause I don't think we've got many prime time games left.Randy, Jacksonville

Jaguars offense makes me want to throw up in my mouth. Get some playmakers and new play calling on offense because only scoring field goals will not win every game.James, Jacksonville

The talking heads can say it was a poor offense by the Ravens, but the Jags fans that were there know better. Mike, Jacksonville

It was an excellent game to watch. If you are into fantasy or video game football, it may have been boring, but it was good, old-fashioned, lineup and go mano-a-mano. It was what made the NFL. Fred, Hazel Park, Mich.

Great game! It's amazing when we win. All the negativity out of the window. No bashing of our coach or Rashean Mathis. I hope this win moves us in the right direction. … Fans, you were great on the big stage.Jeffery, Orange Park

For all these years we blamed Garrard. And we are still seeing sacks and missed catches, and not one offensive score. Its the sad offensive coaching. No more excuses. Its time to move on to a new direction, period.Bill, Jacksonville

I can't figure out whether Blaine Gabbert was overrated, the Ravens defense was that good, or Koetter is just an inept offensive cooredinator. It would be nice to unleash the kid and air out a few long passes. Yvette, Green Cove Springs

In 2009, the Tennessee Titans lost their first six games and then won seven of their next eight. This thing isn't over yet.Michael, Columbus, Ohio

Hey! Who was that terrific football player wearing the Rashean Mathis costume?Tom, St. Johns

Great job by the defense! Nice running by Mojo. … I am glad we can talk about our team winning, and not Tebow for once. Daniel, Jacksonville

Dirk needs to roll out Gabbert on short yardage plays and have some receivers running appropriate routes. Play to your QB's strengths!Keith, Jacksonville

Not to nitpick, but someone needs to tell Drew Coleman to cradle the ball after an interception like he had. I watched him through binoculars and he wasn't touched, so any Raven could have grabbed the ball out of his hand and run for a TD.Alan, Orange Park

I have growing concerns about Gabbert. The ESPN crew kept pointing out how he would not step into the throw when under pressure from the defense. I remember David Carr doing the same thing with the Texans.Jesse, Jacksonville

Who made the call on that late challenge - they almost cost us the game, as if the [Ravens'] catch inside the 10 was challenged it would not been a catch.Tim, Jacksonville

I have to say I wasn't expecting that. I was amazed! Congrats, Gabbert for getting your first NFL win. Congrats, Jags for giving me more faith in you this season!Mark, Live Oak
